Electric Eyes from POKE by MYSTR Treefrog

Electric Eyes

2023 and he’s waited too long
Couldn’t find the keys , though he wanted to
Took a little scare from the plastic hounds
That wandered in the dark as he moaned

Always it’s the same, electric eyes at night
Tiger Burning, there to steal your light
Don’t say, I didn’t warn ya
Don’t say, I misinformed ya

There was talk of war on the Eastern Bloc
We had to be a step ahead of it
With your baggy pants and your sailor’s cap
Lit your last wick as you walked
Toward the boat

Thirty hours out and they bought it good
Didn’t have time to send a letter home
The ladies stayed at home and they baked them bread
Try now to decide who to send it to
Chorus

Donnie stubbed his toe on the Whitehouse lawn
Didn’t get the votes but he wanted to
Why dontcha make a little speech
While you stand alone?
The barking at your heels puts a fear in you
Chorus (reggae chop 1st 4) G-C
Always it’s the same, Electric eyes at night
Tiger Burning, there to take your life
Always it’s the same
